"24 per cent of learners in India are women" - Business Today

In the MOOCs space, how does the Indian market differ from more developed nations such as the US? The average age of people taking the courses in India is younger, unlike in the US. We have a lot of learners who have just finished college and are in the early stages of their career. Another difference is that Indians take up courses that help them with their career, whereas in the US people use online learning platforms for enrichment courses on poetry, culture and such. Based on this, we have started partnering with corporates such as Axis Bank and IBM to help their employees with skill building and creating a culture of learning in the workplace. http://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/features/24-per-cent-of-learners-in-india-are-women/story/235890.html
